WikiEducator is an outstanding community with vigorous interaction.
MERLOT also encourages excellent working relationships primarily through
its review process and awards for 'porting' MERLOT to new geographies.

Community: Marieke will be moving on to other projects later on in the
year and is keen to spread the co-ordination of the group out a little.
Javiera has offered to spend more time supporting the working group in
the new year! There followed a discussion over the challenges of
'building a Community' and overlapping communities. Quite a few related
open education communities were identified including: Open education
graduate community, UNESCo group, OER discuss, P2PU, GO-GN (Global Open
Educational Resources Gradute Network), ALT's OER SIG committee. It was
suggested that the Open Education Working Group hold a 'meta community
day' or 'open open day' and try to bring some of these communities
together. - See more at:
